Hi Sheba he's the right size for a 3/4 guitar I think. It's not promising if they get put in a cupboard, I suspect that is inevitable by the end of January! Though I do have hopes of him being the next big thing

I have DMd you Iggi

Pterobore l think that might have been me. I would be glad of it if you don't mind 😊

Anyone with young kids, the Junior version of Labyrinth game on Amz lightening deals tomorrow from 5.20pm. I have been debating whether to buy the normal game after reading reviews on here but my kids are too young (3.5 and almost 6) but I didn't know there was a junior version. Currently at 14.99 (RRP 19.99)

Thanks so much for all the fab tips! www.myoddballs.com have 20% everything if looking for boxers and also supports testicular cancer charity.

Thanks for the zoella info!

Meet up before the football match? Take photos and wear Christmas hats

For anyone looking for a gift for someone who travels, I just ordered this personalised luggage strap. It cost less than £6 inc delivery and there is a choice of colours.

I need to buy DD some cardigan socks as she's got skinny calves but big feet! Size 2 wellies and I can only find Hunters for £30?!? Anyone know of an alternative preferably at a bargain price?

DD1 wants 'Don't wake up Dad' for Christmas.

I figured it would be around seven or eight pounds, but am not finding it much cheaper than £18 which seems EXTORTIONATE for that pile of plastic crap which will get lost by Boxing Day

Can anyone ease my pain and help me find it cheaper?

Snappy do they have to be the cardigan style or will any welly socks do?

Inflatable globe for £1.09 delivered. Nice little stocking filler or secret santa present.

Ja9r - Boots currently have a Joules bag filled with body stuff at half price. Think it's £22.50.

Ideally cardigan style rockchick. Welly socks all just look a bit like normal socks to me??

Here's the link for Boots/ Joules

Is there such a thing as a tinkerbell busy book?

Does anyone happen to have to have a code for them too?

I bought Don't wake Dad for £13 from Amazon last weekend. Might be worth setting up a camelcamelcamel alert

Achica have some amazing bargain stocking fillers for girls that also work as lovely party gufts. I just ordered 10 gorgeous little necklaces (two packs of five) for £37.99 inc delivery, that works out at £3.70 a gift for classmates. The necklaces are going for £10+ each elsewhere and are adorable.

Here's the link for the lovely jewellery sale....

exasperated dd got a minions chocolate factory set for her birthday from a friend which actually worked pretty well. No idea where its from but I can't imagine it was v expensive as they gave something with it too. That might be another option?

kavv dd asked for this too so I put it on her amazon wishlist and mil paid £18 odd for it along with a few other things I wasn't willing to pay full price for

fabflo yes there was a tinkerbell busy book dd has it at her nans but we bought it about 4 years ago and haven't seen it recently in any shops sorry not much help

Asked dd's what they wanted for Christmas as we are visiting santa next week. Dd1 (7) said I don't need anything. (It was her birthday last week and she was most excited about her own tub of pringles) Dd2 (3) looked at me blankly and said she didn't know!

A good stocking filler for infant/junior school age kids are this set of different sized dice - 7 different dice, all with a different number of faces, including one that goes up to 20 and another that's based on 10, 20, 30 etc

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310670423945 - £2.46 plus 99p postage

I Santa gave them to my dc (then 9 and 6) in their stockings and they've been well used for lots of things - games, making practising maths homework things more fun, learning about different solid shapes and so on. And they're so used to dice having 6 faces that it was a real novelty to be able to choose different ones!

Also - what are cardigan socks please? I've never heard of them before!

Thanks fox just ordered the luggage strap - perfect stocking filler for Dh

I've ordered a now TV box for Dh - I really hope IT works with our crappy basic TV. We have a HDMi port....

My £99 laptop arrived today. It's smaller than I realised, only 11" but it is Windows 10 and what can you expect when you buy on a whim at 2am. Anyhow, ds2 is going to be made up. He's completely not expecting it.

I need to buy dd's new bf a gift now. She has only been going out with him a few weeks but he treats her lovely. I met him for the first time yesterday when DD and I went to get our nails done and he had paid for both of us. I was thinking of one of the half price aftershaves in Debenhams. Any recommendations? He is 23 by the way.

Thank you for the luggage strap link, that's fab
